My new endeavor

So, I've started a new blog .  Not a new family blog, just a blog about the reality of being a mom. Mama in Real Life   My hope is that it can be a place for moms to share stories about daily happenings of motherhood, both good and bad.  I'm also hoping it can be a place that feels "real".  Too often I look at other moms and everything in their life looks perfect: dressed up cute, perfect hair and makeup, clean and tidy house, well groomed kids, yummy meal on the table by 6:00, looks like they're doing fun things all the time, library trips and park visits and volunteering at school, etc, etc, etc.  I know that's not how their life really is, but that's all I see.  So I wanted to start a blog about real life motherhood.  I call it "Mama in Real Life".  I don't enjoy seeing others fail, but I fully admit that it makes me feel better knowing that I'm not alone in this struggle, that other mothers like me aren't perfect and i...

Also, my blog only allows me to upload photos the are downsized (or small), which is a pain to resize my photos all the time. Do any of you have that same problem? And I hate the order that it posts the photos in. How do I change that?
